Time Trials - Team Meeting & Team Breakfast

Saturday June 16 


All swimmers except tad polls must report for time trial warmups no later than 7:30am.  The trials will start at approximately 8:15am.  Coaches will be talking to swimmers about what they will be swimming during practice next week.  Tad polls will not be swimming, but should come to the team mtg and breakfast - see below. 


A team meeting will be held immediately following the trials on the pool deck before going to breakfast.  THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN PAST YEARS - Coach Julia wants to address all of the swimmers and parents before breakfast.  No swimmers should line up for breakfast until after the team mtg.  Those not participating in the trials should come to the pool at 9:00 am.  


The team breakfast will follow the team meeting.  Please signup and volunteer to bring goodies at  https://www.signupgenius.com/tabs/93d7edc0fa4cbee2-greenwood2​
